Awake and up all night

I've used Just Park to Park at concert venues. Paid £40 for a 5 minute walk to Wembley to see Harry Styles in 2022. Sounds a lot but there were 3 of us and it beats joining the 90k people queue trying to get the tube. It did take an hour on the way out to get about 100 yards mind but at least we were on relative comfort. 

Sadly, will now not be able to see Mr Styles in July   as I do believe 90k people counts as a 'large crowd'!! To be honest though, it's the least of my worries!!

Plucked up the courage to ask for my protein results that were done a couple of weeks ago.

One protein (very high beginning of March hence the urgent referral) has now gone right down. Not gone completely but nurse says they couldn't have hoped for a better result. 

The other protein, although not too high last time, has now gone to within normal limits.

Nurse said just to keep doing what I'm doing. I've had some very dark days, especially coming down from steroids but I'll keep those protein levels in mind when I'm down at the weekend. 

Thanks again for all your support. This group really is a lifeline xxxx

That's a shame. 

I had to cancel 2 holidays because of my cancer treatment

That's excellent news Julie, and really well done for stabilising those levels hon. You deserve a break as keeping up a none stop stance of positivity must be pretty tiring.

Rest up if possible, and have a cuppa. You could always check out if Harry boy will be performing next year.

To be honest Gill, it was exhausting going to Wembly last time and we were so high up I felt like I had vertigo! He was so small he could have been anyone!

Also driving to London on a Wednesday evening was crackers and getting up the next day to teach my class was even more crackers! Nobody learned anything that day! 

I also felt I'd seen most of the concert on Instagram before I went so I'll try to do the same this time.

My favourite venue (not done that many) is Leeds Direct. Saw Diana Ross last year (bit of a diva!). Love the fact it's really close to the centre and just a short walk to a nice hotel! 

Aw never mind Julie, as it would have been far too much even without the crowds. Once you're well enough, treat yourself to a special show or concert. One thing your class might have learnt was that H looked miniscule from a distance.

I've been to Leeds Direct - just the once and over ten years ago, but thought it was fab. My eldest treat OH and myself, first a meal out and then daughter and me off to see a classical spectacular at the venue. OH not into it but he played chauffeur and not a single problem with parking, before leaving us there and heading home. 

I saw Whitney Houston at Sheffield Arena long before that but it wasn't great. She was really late on stage, sang badly and appeared to be wearing a dressing gown Hilda Ogden would have turned her snout up at. Bobby Brown spent most of Whitney's tottering appearance ogling her backing dancers.

Here's hoping when you do get to one, it'll be someone who puts on a fantastic show hon xxx

OH has to have injections to strengthen her bones. She always feels wiped out afterwards.But went okay. She had bloods done this week so we're hoping that they must have been okay to allow her to have the injection. 

Thanks 

Oddly enough our District nurse put us in touch with Age UK and a lady there who was very determined got us a disability badge ethe cat.
